1' I A ' rs, 1 Ykffiiis gist!! If you can swing an axe, or wield a brush hook, Or drive a stake, or drag a chain all day. If you can scribble 'iliggersi' in a note book, Or shoot a range pole half mile away. If you can sight a transit or a level, Or move a target up and down a rod. If you fear neither man, nor devil, And know your self and trust the living God. ' If you can wade a swamp, or swim a river, Nor fear the deeps, nor yet the dizzy heights. If can stand the cold without a shiver, And take the l'liggin's ink to bed oinights. If you can 'turn a thumb screw with your fingers, When every digitis like a frozen thumb. If you can work as the daylight lingers, And not complain, nor think you are GOING SCME. If you can sight through tropic heat's refraction. Or toil all day beneath a blistering sun. If you can find a sort of satisfaction, In knowing that you've got a job Well done. If you can be an esquimo and nigger, And try to be a gentleman, to boot. If you can use a Uguessin' stick to figger And know a co-efficient from a root. If your calculus and descriptive are forgotten, And your algebra just serves you fairly well. If your drafting and your lettering are rotten. And your Trautwine's always handy by to tell. If you close a traverse without fudgirf, Or check a line of levels by a foot. If you can set a slope stake just bv judgini, And never kicked a tripod with your foot. 11'oi'lx--190111

' S6215 Mikes s 1 :yeas sy Forty-Five If you can run a line where you are told, And make it stay somewhere on the map. If you can read your notes when they get cold, And know that contours mustn't ever lap. If you can line a truss or tap a rivet, Or make a surley foreman come across. , If you can take an order, well as give it, And not have secret pity for the boss. If you can climb a stool and not feel lowly, Nor have your head turned by a swivel chair. If you can reach your judgments slowly . And make your rulings always just and fair.. If you can give yourself and all that's in you And make the others give their own 'and best, too. If you can handle men of brawn and sinew, . - And like the men and make 'em like you, too. flf you can't boast a college education, Or, if you've got a sheep-skin, can forget. If you get a living wage for compensation, And give a little more than what you get. If you can 'meet with triumph and disaster And treat them without favor, or with fear, You'll be a man-and your own master, But-what is more-you'll be an E-N'-G-I-N-E-E-R. vi-XA,
